Seuss foundation (aka his family) pulled it first because of all the Asian hate crimes recently. They figured they'd get a head of the curve and keep the royalties comin in. At least it was only 2 of the books and not even the best ones.

Asian hate crimes and Dr. Suess does not compute

People are buying the pulled books as fast as possible and selling them on eBay for $100s. Thus, the spike in book sales.

I need to get in on this sort of thing. I'm always too late to the party.
I think it takes a certain temperament.

If you don't got it, it's not going to work.

I don't sell anything anymore.

I give it to good will.

I hate making The Deal.

And the idea that you buy book at retail and sell it for more.

It's like a ticket scalper.

I don't want to be a ticket scalper.

Now I do.

Thought maybe it had something to do with homeschool actually.

Instead it's the Cat and the Hat is racist.:geek:
Cat in the hat wasn't the main culprit
Apparently he had a history of racist cartoons before his childhood cartoons took off, I just learned this now on a google search lol
All i remember about the dude is that he cheated on his dying wife and in school we would say
one bitch two bitch dead bitch new bitch

Sounds like we'll be cancelling tons of writers from the past then.
